I have been told by our vet that ice water or ice in general among other things, can cause Bloat which can kill a dog very quickly. Though it doesn't mention ice / ice water specifically her is a link http://www.globalspan.net/bloat.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammie Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 i put some rock sulfur in sukas water and it seems to refresh him really well...he does stay in during the peak hours though and loves to go out in the evening and laze about in the garden He's malting like you wouldn't believe at the moment too so lots of grooming!

sammie Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 you can get it in most pet shops, you are supposed to break a bit off and drop it in the water bowl (in sukas case a larger piece in bucket lol) and it helps to cool the dog down, a lot of people use it, it claims to cool the dogs blood in hot weather, it has worked on suka and diesel our old labby they seem much more settled and pant less. The minerals in it disperse into the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMukki Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 been giving huskies ice for years, never had a problem -except when they leave one on the kitchen floor for me to slip on LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 been giving huskies ice for years, never had a problem -except when they leave one on the kitchen floor for me to slip on LOL Been there, done that! On both counts. My understanding is it will not happen all the time but if it is really hot (92 here today), and they are over heated or just exercised it can happen. As I said earlier, the link I furnished (as well as several others) does not specifically mention ice but the vet did. I also read it elsewhere which is why I asked the vet. If I err, I'm going to err on the side of caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
